Retiring and downsizing my shop

I am retiring and selling my 3000 sq. ft. shop and just started the process of building a new shop in my back yard.I plan to work on my own furniture designs and putter out there. Going to be heavenly to walk out back after supper and work for however long I care to with no pressure any more of deadlines and customer expectations.The process of going from 3000 sq ft. to 900 sq. ft is daunting to say the least. New shop/garage (I doubt I’ll ever put a car in there) will have 10 ft. ceilings T5 lighting and I’ll be heating it with my wood stove.the footers have been inspected and poured, Today they are pouring the floor.exciting times.More to follow as it progresses Gregg

I had one thought – been brought up on many threads over the years, but there are sometimes insurance issues having a woodstove in a detached shop.Since nobody would hear a smoke detector…Some homeowners policies won’t cover it if there is wood heat.

I would just double check if there is any ‘fine print’ that would be a problem in your area.

I would love to have 900 sqyare feet… mmmmmm 30X30!!Right now I have 14X21 so just under 300.
